I'm tempted to say 'eff it' and grab a disposable cup.

Starting with Korean fried chicken wings.

A few years ago, I stumbled on a pizza dough recipe that called for nothing more than self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Doubtful that it would work, I made four pizzas in three days just to prove to myself that this interesting ingredient combination really could deliver a crust worthy of our weekly pizzas. It did indeed succeed, but my kids weren’t crazy about the slight tang they detected in the dough. I continued to experiment and came up with a no-knead Dutch oven bread, only this time the tang was welcomed, as it was reminiscent of our favourite sourdough bread I often bought from a local bakery. I usually mix up the dough after dinner and let it rise on the counter while I tend to other tasks. Then, I slip the bowl into the refrigerator overnight and bake the bread the following morning.

I’m a fan of both dense, fudgy brownies and chewy chocolate chip cookies, and a blondie is what you’d get if the two united. This variation is spiked with tahini, adding an underlying nutty richness from the sesame paste, and embellished with chopped chocolate and finished with flaky sea salt—and the combination is both sweet and salty. In other words, it’s totally amazing.

The effects of many aphrodisiacs are greatly exaggerated. One study found that you’d need to eat 25 pounds of chocolate to significantly alter your mood. But chili peppers, like the ones featured in our fiery oil, are the real deal — they quicken the pulse, induce sweating and stimulate the release of endorphins. This 15-minute recipe is just what you need to kick things up a notch in the dead of winter.

Tender cabbage leaves are layered in between a hearty rice and sausage filling, and simmered in a fresh sauce for an absolutely delicious dinner casserole.

Cheesy, saucy and meaty (thanks to the portobellos), this parmigiana is a must-try for vegetarians and carnivores alike.
